I'm running a minimum of 1 mile a day. I want to build my miles back up to 25 or so a week. That would be easy if I put my running shoes on more than 1 or 2 times a week like I have been for most of the last year.

I started early, so this is day 6 for me. I plan on keeping this up past the holidays.

I had already started because for the past couple years I just havent been able to like running. But I miss loving running. I know the point of view of streaking becoming bigger than an injury or an illness, but my problem for the last 2 years at least is I take a day off because I just dont feel like running and that day turns in to 3 months. Plus my chronic problems seem to do better with at least a little every day.

I had done 100 days a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I had tried streaking last year but got hung up on the fact that my first 100 day streak averaged 6.9 miles a day, and I couldnt do that. But I was close enough to try and burned myself out. Now I am so phenomenally out of shape that I am happy with 1. 1 is good.

I used this log over a year ago and started again this week. I had a streak of 10 days with 58 miles logged. Last month I ran 40 something.

ran 3.25 around the area this afternoon, think I hit every traffic light lol.

This is my second year doing the streak. Today is the first official day, but I also ran yesterday and Tuesday, so this would actually be my third day running in a row now. My normal RD's are Monday and Friday, so forcing myself to run on those days could be challenging after a while.

Same here, but raw apathy has been the norm for me most of this year. Amazing what just getting out there and oh-so-slowly trotting around for a couple miles will do for the rest of your day.
